An Assembler converts an assembly language source code into machine-specific code.
An Assembler converts assembly language instructions into machine language.
Compliers are used to convert C++ into assembly code. Then a tool called an "assembler" converts that code into machine code. Finally, a "linker" connects all of those machine code files into a single executable.
Linking is the process of combining various pieces of code and data together to form a single executable that can be loaded in memory. Linking can be done at compile time, at load time (by loaders) and also at run time (by application programs)
There is no definite term "assembler" in compilation process. It is more like "compiler" and "linker". Assembler usually refers to a compiler of machine language: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_language So you probably mean difference between compiler and linker? Lets say you have a 3 module program, and it uses a 3rd party library, then the compiler will just compile each of your modules (separately) into binary pieces, which have "unclosed" references to abovementioned library and other 2 modules. After u have 3 binary pieces comes in "linker" it attaches those "unclosed" (or unlinked) links to other modules and library, therefore giving you working program file (.exe file for example). Really hard to say that without a schema or something like that:) Hope this answer helped you.

You haven't listed any "tools", however the compiler followed by the linker produce the native machine code. from source code. A MakeFile combines the two operations into a single "build" operation.
linker is a subprogram,its written by one user and one source code file will exit. linker is a subprogram,its written by one user and one source code file will exit.
No. Computers do not convert program source code into machine code, period. That job is the responsibility of another piece of software, known as the interpreter or compiler, a machine code program which effectively tells the computer how to perform the translation from source code to machine code. The computer cannot do this job by itself as computers only understand machine code and nothing else. An interpreter simply converts each statement of source code into the equivalent machine code and executes it, one statement at a time. This is extremely slow because subroutines that are called many times must be translated each time they are called, for instance. Thus the source code must always be executed within the interpreter software. A compiler, on the other hand, converts the entire source program into object code which can then be linked to produce the required machine code. Once linked, the machine code will execute without any further interpretation, and is therefore known as a standalone executable.
The compiler converts source code (the stuff the programmer wrote and is human readable) and converts it to machine code that the computers CPU can understand. The conversion is used to make an executable program. The compiler can also make libraries but libraries are not executable by them selves.

False. A compiler converts source code into object code.
A program called a compiler, or sometimes an assembler (depending on the programming language) does this for you. You write the source code, then invoke the program that will convert this into machine language.
